"We hired Dan to build a floor-to-ceiling river rock fireplace. He suggested a log beetle-kill pine mantle, which he has a source for. The final results are truly breathtaking, and pictures really donâ t do it justice! Dan was very patient and flexible through many delays and issues not caused by him, but having to do with the original fireplace insert, which we ended up replacing. He was always prompt, with great communication. Dan is really an old-world craftsman, with old-world values, and we would recommend him highly, and plan to use him again. He is a man of many talents and interests, and he and his crew worked very hard to make sure everything was perfect, and that we were happy with everything, as picky as we were â lol! Danâ s many years of experience were evident, and his sense of design and the best way to do something was invaluable. Teller County is lucky to have such a talented craftsman."

"Greg is very prompt and professional and does a good job. He got rid of the pipes so we can do a kitchen remodel. I was surprised it could be done but he did it. I had another estimate for $300 but just asked Greg to come because he will be doing some work for us in the near future. I did not ask him for a bid because I wanted to use him. I was surprised to the tune of about $80. However, he did it quickly when I needed it done and did a good job. I will use him in the future.

Start with a professional inspection. If damage is limited to a few bricks or the crown, a targeted repair helps keep costs and disruption to a minimum. Severe leaning, widespread mortar failure, or major fire damage usually signals it’s time for a complete teardown and rebuild. Your contractor will outline both price tags, but remember that rebuilding a failing stack is often cheaper than repeated patch jobs and the water leaks or fire hazards they allow.
Cracks provide water with an easy path into the masonry, weakening the bricks and mortar and increasing the risk of collapse or fire. Gaps can also let hot gases and sparks escape into attic spaces. Call a chimney pro as soon as you see cracking so they can seal small joints or recommend a larger rebuild before minor damage turns into a costly emergency.
Smoke rolling back into the room often indicates a blocked flue, a broken damper, or a drafting issue. Have a sweep inspect the damper, flue liner, and any obstructions right away. Most fixes involve clearing debris, repairing the liner, or adjusting the damper so the fireplace pulls air correctly. Don’t light another fire until a professional pinpoints the cause and confirms your system is venting safely.
Most policies cover chimney repairs caused by a sudden, covered event, such as lightning, a fallen tree, or a house fire. They won’t cover damage that stems from neglected maintenance or everyday wear. Review your policy or contact your agent before scheduling work to determine what documentation your insurer requires and what costs you will be responsible for.
Component life spans vary. Clay tile or cast-in-place liners last close to 50 years, while stainless-steel liners last 15 to 20 years. Mortar requires attention every 25 to 30 years, while crowns last 50 to 75 years. Use these numbers as a maintenance roadmap: schedule regular inspections, budget for future upgrades, and replace parts before age-related cracks develop into more significant problems.
